T0 WII'OM I'l MAY CONCERNE- Be it known that I, WILLIAM C. McGILL, ofCincinnati, Hamilton county, Ohio, have invented a new'andusefulConductors Register and Ticket-Case; and I hereby deciare thefollowing to he a full, clear, and exact description thereof,referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, making part of thisspecification.

My invention relates to a peculiarly-arranged case, box, or wallet, inportable form, which may be carried in the hand or in t'ne pocket, orsecured to the person 'of a conductor, and which presents an eiicientand unalterable means lof registering ey'eryl halt' fareand every wholefrcjpaid, and which, in -its most complete form, also contains aconvenient receptacle for tickets.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of lmy combined double registernnd'ticket-cuse.

Figure 2 is a vertical section thereof. I

Figure 3 Ais a side elevation, a portion of the external ease beingremoved.

'.llhe case, shell, or box, A, may be of .sheet metal, leather,vuleanite, wood, or other convenient material. B and C are indexngers,whose shafts b c are so connected, by means'of pinion D and cog-wheel E,as to Acause the finger B to make twenty revolutions while the finger' Cis making one revolution. Accompanying each finger is a dial, suitablydivided and numbered. 'lhe shaft IJ has a ri. Chet-wheel, F, which,being pushed or rotated thedistance of a tooth by the impact of one oftwo teeth, G, which project from a knob, H, the finger I5 is therebyadvanced 'ou its dial the equivalent of a'unit, and the finger C thetwentieth portion thereof. The same movement of the knob causes theopposite tooth, G', to act on a bell-crank, I, having a clapper, J,which, on its release from the tooth G-', is caused, by the spring K, tostrike a bell, L, and thereby give notice to the bystanders of theproper movement having been made. A glass pane, (see dotted lines Z,)while allowing inspection of the dials, secures them from being'tampcrcdwith.

In order to enable the registering of half fares, I provide n secondknob, M, from which projects a springarm, N, whose obliqueiy-tippedfinger, O, is capable of being engaged successively in the severalapertures 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8, affording a record of juvenile passengers,which may be transferred to the dials aforesaid, when opportunityoccurs, if desired.

The half-fare mechanism just described may be placed upon a slide, P,which serves to partially or wholly close at will a pocket, Q, fortickets, or it may, if preferred, be fixedunderneath the glass, the sameas the other dials.

I claim herein as new, and of my invention- 1. The actuating-knob H undteeth G G', in the described combination, with the recording andstrikingdevices, substantially as set forth.

2. In the described combination, the half-fare rcgisterslide P andticket-receptacle or pocket Q, upon or within a conductors register,substantially as described, I

3. The double register for recording full and half fares, constructedand adapted to operate substantially n the manner set forth.

In testimony of which invention, I hereunto s'et my hand.
